Star Wars Jedi 3: leak names 2027 as possible release for Cal Kestis sequel

According to the same source, marketing for the game could begin before The Game Awards 2026 in December. That detail is also still speculation for now.

Game Rant also links Star Wars Jedi 3 to Cal Kestis as a possible final chapter in his story, but that reading has not been officially confirmed either.

What happened

Game Rant reported that a new Star Wars leak is circulating around Star Wars Jedi 3. The source of the claim is scooper FivesWalker, who says the game could arrive in 2027. In the report, that timing is presented as a possible release window, not a confirmed date from EA, Respawn Entertainment, or Lucasfilm Games.

The same leak suggests that marketing could start earlier than many fans expect. The report says an initial campaign may begin before The Game Awards 2026 in December. That matters because The Game Awards is traditionally a major moment for game announcements and trailers, but in this case there is no official confirmation that Star Wars Jedi 3 will already be shown there.

EA, Respawn Entertainment, and Lucasfilm Games have not announced an official release window for Star Wars Jedi 3 at the time of publication. As a result, both the suggested 2027 timing and the marketing window remain unconfirmed. The report is based entirely on a leak, so the details should be treated as rumor for now.

The same context is also tied by Game Rant to Cal Kestis. In the franchise, Cal Kestis is the central character of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and the new leak is being connected to a possible closing chapter for his story. Even so, that remains an interpretation of the report rather than an official statement from the publisher or developer.

Background

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launched on April 28, 2023, and is the most recent game in Respawn Entertainment’s series. The game built on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and continued Cal Kestis’ story within the Star Wars franchise. Star Wars Jedi 3 is therefore the next expected step in the series, but an official announcement from EA, Respawn Entertainment, or Lucasfilm Games is still missing.

FivesWalker’s leak is also being linked to Cal Kestis by Game Rant. That makes the claim especially notable, since the Jedi series has so far been built heavily around the character and his growth. Still, there is no official confirmation that Star Wars Jedi 3 will actually be the final chapter of Cal Kestis’ story. The wording in the report remains cautious and leans on speculation rather than a confirmed narrative direction.

The suggested marketing timing is also nothing more than an unconfirmed estimate. A possible start before The Game Awards 2026 would mean the game’s first visible campaign could begin in 2026, while the release would follow in 2027 according to the same leak. That is a concrete timeline, but without an official announcement from EA, Respawn Entertainment, or Lucasfilm Games, there is no basis to treat it as final.

For now, the key hard information is simply that a leak exists, that it names 2027 as a possible release period, and that the same source points to a marketing start before The Game Awards 2026. Everything beyond that, including whether Star Wars Jedi 3 is truly the end of Cal Kestis’ story, remains open.
